Evans, then at Paramount Pictures, bought the home in the 1960s for $290,000, according to the report. He installed a then-state-of-the-art wood-paneled screening room and regularly hosted business meetings and screenings of his in-progress movies there.
In the 1980s, Evans sold the property, but regretted it and enlisted Jack Nicholson to help convince the buyer to sell it back, flying the actor to Monte Carlo to meet with him, according to the report.
